The latest work of my friend Davide Sivolella an aeronautical engineer and a skilled author, who lives in England. If you want to learn about never realized Space Shuttle versions, this is the right book!!!

Definitely one for the Christmas wish list. :cool: Though I have just found out that it won't be available until the 30th of December. Damn it.

That book is quite tempting. My alma mater has the closest large low-speed wind tunnel to NASA-Houston and while I was a student assistant there, we did a lot of testing on the shuttle orbiter. I got to watch it go from straight wings and horizontal tails to a pure delta wing and finally to the blended delta that flew. I noticed that some forty years later they were doing much the same testing for SNC's "Dreamchaser: spaccraft.
